Saucon Valley athlete Chikotas deserved recognition

January 07, 2014

While I certainly agree that "as with any list or poll, results are subjective. You may or may not agree with our selections," as you point out in your Plenty of Memorable Achievements in Lehigh Valley Area Sports article (Jan. 1, 2014), you still made a glaring omission by leaving Saucon Valley senior Elizabeth Chikotas out of the piece. All Chikotas did was win a state championship at the PIAA Cross Country Championships in November.

What makes the omission glaring is that the article points out many individuals and teams — and no disrespect is meant toward them — who did not win a state championship. Ms. Chikotas deserved recognition.
